Justin is a huge Man vs. Food addict (or anything on the discovery channel for that matter). The day after Valentine's Day (Monday...President's Day) we drove up to L.A. to home of the Original French Dips "Philippe's." There was atleast 100 people in line but it went really quick and we had a delicious sandwich and even better their amazing homemade mustard.
Then we continued the adventure to Griffith Park. Jackson rode his first Merry Go Round and it was going so fast I got so dizzy holding Jackson on that horse that Justin had to take over. I think Jackson liked it.We drove to the other side of the enormous Griffith Park to the train section called "Travel Town." BOYS LOVE IT HERE! There are trains every where to climb on and explore. Justin and Jackson took the train around the park twice and I stayed to take pictures. Thomas the Train comes once a month too. HEAVEN for boys...and it's FREE!
"I LOVE TRAINS!"
Our last stop was in Little Tokyo for the Ramen noodle challenge from Man vs. Food. We got 2 GIGANTIC bowls of soup and they were not all that tasty so we declared not EVERYTHING on Man vs. Food is yummy...some may just be the challenge.
All in all...nice playing tourist in Southern California and thankful for the last 3 days of 80 degree weather in FEBRUARY. Lovin' it!
OMG...Galen and I LOVE Man VS Food!!! I'm so jealous you got to go there!
